Summary
“I’m here,” Davey started, “because I figured out that I was… like these people. And I wanted to know more. To meet someone like me. To have someone make sense of it all.”
Jack was quiet for a moment, then two, spending that time sizing Davey up, till he seemed to reach a new conclusion. A smile spread slow over his face, and he said, “Dunno if I’m that right person for that, Dave.”
“I never said I wanted it to be you.” His tone matched Jack’s, his words lies just as Jack’s had been, but both spoken so lightly that the truth was clear as if it had been spoken aloud.
Jack laughed, shorter and breathier than all of the previous, and pushed his glass away. “I like you,” he said, as if it were so simple.
Then again, Davey thought, maybe it was.

Summary
Davey Jacobs is not, by nature, an impulsive person. But when an unexpected holiday break-up strikes and ruins "The Plan," he drunkenly signs up on a home-exchange site. Now he's spending two weeks in a lush, Manhattan penthouse, escaping his uncertain future while he regroups and explores the city of his dreams.
None of his plans, however, accounted for his home-exchange partner's charming and enigmatic friend, Jack Kelly.

Summary
(Alternately (kind of) titled: Five times that David and Jack were oblivious about basically being married and/or parents and the one time it was so obvious even these idiots noticed)
“Youse talk funny,” one of the kids said suspiciously when Jack had introduced him to the mass of them a week or so after the strike, “youse sure you from ‘Hattan?”
Jack had thrown his head back and laughed while David cursed his pale complexion; it made the inevitable blush that much more visible. Though whether it was because of the question or the infectious smile that had lit up Jack’s face, he refused to think about.

Summary
Selfish. Conceited. Arrogant. If someone were to ask Katherine Ethel Pulitzer to describe her father, those would be the words she would use. But he's also her father, which is why when he asks her to go undercover to root out a gang of rebels in the city, she doesn't hesitate.
But the rebels are nothing like what her father said, and try as she might, she can't help them from growing on her.

Summary
“I could name a thing or two that doesn’t do you any favors,” says David.
“Oh, yeah? Go on, then.”
David shakes his head. “You’re not gonna listen to me anyway. What’s the point of giving you good, honest advice if you’re not going to take it?”
“If that’s really what you thought, Dave, you’d never speak a word to me again.”
-
David goes back to school and everything changes, for better or worse. Sometimes it takes falling out of orbit to put a name to the gravitational pull holding us all together.
-
Bookmark Notes:
David rolls his eyes. He comes to lean beside Jack, rather than loitering across from him, on the inside of the alley rather than closer to the street. Jack hums in satisfaction, unsure where this sudden burst of protectiveness has come from. Shielding David from the cold, or the imaginary threat of wandering vagrants… Jack isn't sure which strikes his vain fancy more.

Summary
Racetrack Higgins always thought it would be his own vices that got him into trouble one day; it turns out his Ma does it for him. When Ma Higgins crosses the local drug lord and leaves him high and dry with a target on his back, Race is saved by a mysterious stranger who gives him a safe place to hide—a short-tempered and anti-social stranger covered in horrifying scars, with a past as dark as the marks on his body. However, the longer Race spends in the Brooklyn house, the more he discovers about the boy beneath the scars: a boy who is just as trapped as Race and twice as damaged.
Befriending the two men who live in as hired help, and chipping away at the mysterious "boss" and his walls, Race might even find a place to call home.
*Beauty & the Beast/Beastly AU fusion*

Summary
When Frank Sullivan is released from prison, he expects his son to fall in line and join the family "business." But when Frank discovers that Jack's loyalties lie elsewhere, it ignites a chain of events that will challenge both Jack and David in ways they never imagined.
